WANA (August 06) – In a press conference, Iran’s Judiciary Spokesperson, Asghar Jahangir, stated that the rumors regarding arrests in the Ismail Haniyeh assassination case are unfounded and that no one has been arrested so far.

 

He emphasized that investigations have commenced under the supervision of the military prosecutor and the Tehran military court, with evidence currently being collected.

 

Jahangir condemned the Israeli regime and its support from the United States, noting that the assassination of Haniyeh would elicit a strong response from the Islamic Republic. Iran will utilize all its domestic and international capacities in reaction to this event.

 

He also mentioned ongoing communications with the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and efforts to reopen the Islamic Center in Hamburg.

 

Criticizing countries that claim to champion human rights but violate them, Jahangir stressed the need to expose such actions. He highlighted Iran’s judiciary’s efforts to develop legal and judicial cooperation with countries like China and to establish an Islamic human rights movement as opposed to the Western concept of human rights.

 

Regarding the helicopter crash involving the late President, Jahangir provided an update, stating that an investigation was immediately launched, and a committee was assigned to review the incident. The findings have been submitted to the relevant branch, and the final report will be announced once available.

 

Responding to questions about the arrest of Israeli spies, Judiciary Spokesperson Asghar Jahangir declared that no country tolerates espionage that threatens its security. In collaboration with security and intelligence agencies, he affirmed that Iran’s judiciary has dealt severe blows to espionage activities orchestrated by global adversaries.

 

Jahangir disclosed that the identified spies primarily belonged to Israeli, American, and British intelligence services, and they were swiftly detected and handled by Iran’s security apparatus.

 

He highlighted the execution of Alireza Akbari, a dual agent for Israel and the UK, and the similar sentence for Ahmadreza Djalali, an identified Israeli spy, as evidence of the judiciary’s firm stance against espionage.

 

He noted that other espionage cases are under investigation, and due to security considerations, details and statistics will be disclosed at an appropriate time.
